Christmas Kickstart Challenge #2 - Bundle Up!

Hi Everyone,

after Muse Christmas Visions ended, I was on the look-out for a new Christmas challenge I can paly along throughout the year, to lessen the stress in November and December. I think I found one! It is the Christmas Kickstart Challenge 


The current theme is "Bundle up"

   Christmas Kickstart Challenge

I took an ancient Hero Arts set and made the background with an iStencil. I love this one, one of my favorites! It is called Winter Striped Tree


I first sponged pencil dust, but it looked a bit anemic, so I shifted the stencil and sponged in green. Colored the deer with Inktense. Added Stickles.


The stitching is a CUTplorations die. The sentiment is lazily made with Washi tape......a Christmas gift from my blogging friend Gundi from Papierelle

Love this card, Cornelia. That stencil .....wow. And two sponged colours - looks amazing. The deer looks quirky enough to be around those trees, too. Thank you for sharing, and joining us at ABC Christmas Challenge. :) Lynda

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
